This is one of my random thoughts.
While driving up 880 (East Bay Area) from San Jose to Oakland last week, I was lucky and had a colleague with me so I was in the carpool lane. In the short trip (about 30 miles) I passed 3 2011 Mustangs -- all the same color of blue. There is something to be said for and, in my opinion, gained by for driving a vehicle like ours that is rare to see. In fact, I have had mine for 10 months now and have seen about 10 total other 370's on the road. Again, forgive my randomness here.

I am from a small town, with not many people. There are like 2 camaros around, 3 challengers(Gf's dad & uncle are 2 of them), and the only 5.0 I see are still on the car lot.
And I have a 370z, and so does that other dude that bought the one I test drove. |

Yeah ive only seen a few 370's around here in WV. When I do its always passing me in the opposite direction on the interstate. More and more 350's popping up now they're used and affordable. Usualy give AND get a head nod or wave when i pass those.
The new camaro...different story. They're everywhere. I do like the looks of them, but I couldn't stand it if I had a car that is supposed to be a head-turner and i'd have to turn my head to see one pass me every other mile. |

I guess were a rare breed. I love it. I like it that way. Thats another reason I'm drawn to the Z. Not a dime a dozen. Makes you feel different.

I agree. I've been raised around import vehicless (nissan/Toyota). Unlike the Z, the mustang seems like a typical car. Many learn to love asian ingenuity and the beauty of the asian sexy design. I dropped by a dealer with the wife to look at the mustang and the dealer was boasting about the mustang. He said, " which would you have? the 5.0 engine or the Z?" I said the Z, although my wife wants it, because it has a higher head turning factor and is has sexy curves for an asian ![]() ![]() I LOVE ASIANS!!! ^^

Yeah i missed that about my Z, i never see another one around esp. during winter right now. I see g37's a bit more but not as much as the new camaros.
